Men Single Easy Stroke
After the stroke, other factors aside, a single man in the 1960s to 64 percent risk for a stroke three decades (30 years old) and then compared their colleagues who were married. However, the risk of stroke in men who get married are also still high, especially the marriage was unhappy.
The results presented at the American Stroke Association conference in 2010 was consistent with the literature that says that the support of the spouse can increase a person’s health status.
“People who are married are usually more concerned about health. They are more likely to see a doctor when sick, and tend to have a healthy diet,” said Daniel Lackland, a professor of neuroscience from Epidemiologic and Medical University of South Caroline, USA.
The study of stroke and marital status was conducted by scientists in Israel, involving 10 059 men who participated in the Israeli ischemic Heart Disease Study in 1963. By using records of death, the researchers look for a track record of the health of the respondents until 1997.
Approximately 8.4 percent of the unmarried in 1963, both the still-single, divorced, or widower since his wife died, apparently died of a stroke after 34 years. The figure is slightly larger than married people, 7.1 percent.
The analysis result also shows the socio-economic factors and other risk factors, such as obesity, hypertension, and smoking. Or absence of diabetes and heart disease at the beginning of the study was also calculated.
